Alston was decided 9-0 against the NCAA, and the NCAA/P4 is trying to settle for billions on House. There were two cases on the 80’s and 90’s about TV rights that the NCAA lost.

All those numbers are pre-House settlement. Football is about to get a lot less profitable at every school. Unfortunately, most of those other schools we want to compete with have a lot more football revenue than we do.

...cable boxes as its network got bigger. USC/UCLA and Texas/OK were recognizing that Alston was about to rock everyone's world. Now the House case is hitting. The ACC knows everything they need to know about us. I think the P4 is going to spend some time deciding whether it needs to break...

Really? I think I may have mentioned the House settlement once or twice on this board. https://the-boneyard.com/threads/the-house-case.200727/ https://the-boneyard.com/search/1897214/?q=House&c[users]=nelsonmuntz&o=relevance

And say what? What new information do we have for the ACC that they don't already know? No one is going to do anything until the landscape changes, which it is about to. Just try not to cake our pants for a few months, and see how the House settlement plays out.

https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/as-college-athletics-prepares-for-revenue-sharing-fallout-leaders-wonder-is-a-breakaway-from-the-ncaa-next/ College football is about to get a lot more expensive, and a lot more complicated, for everyone. 22% of AD revenue, or $22 million, is a...

...the Big 12 pay FSU and Clemson with? Outback coupons? The networks did not want to expand the Big 12. ESPN and Fox have to be looking at the House Settlement and wondering if college sports, and particularly college football, are going to be a major sport for fans in 5-10 years. Why would...

I did not see this. It deserves its own thread. This may create UConn's last but best shot. I do not expect all the P4 schools to sign up for this. There should be openings.

...or whatever fantasy number people want to throw out, but there is no evidence we are getting that. No one knows what the implications of the House settlement would be, making jumping at the first offer we get potentially a massive mistake. What happens if the elite academic schools bail...

Left behind to what? The highest level of college football has huge uncertainty in revenue (end of the cable bundle), costs (House settlement), and conference affiliation. There are dozens of ways this can play out, some of which would make it better for UConn to not join the Big 12 right now.

Why do people insist on insulting those that disagree with them? People are not hesitant about this move purely because of nostalgia. UConn is in a good basketball league that pays reasonably well and has nearby teams that fans care about. The pro-BE contingent gets that the Big East is a big...

She doesn't understand the difference between revenue and profitability. The profitability picture of college football is about to get a lot more muddled with the House Settlement.

I like House of the Dragon better than most of the Game of Thrones run. The characters are complex and interesting, and the plot twists have created a feeling that all of them are headed towards inexorable disaster despite many of their best efforts to avoid it. It is well done.

...wasn't for the lawsuit in 2003, UConn would have 5 fewer men's national championships in basketball and have never made the Fiesta Bowl. The House decision was odd in that non-P4 schools paid any of the back penalties, much less a sizable chunk of them. Either that action will result in...

I think many people are confusing revenue and profitability. In the post-House world, maybe 20-30 football programs will be profitable, and that will take substantial reductions in overhead to pull off.

Is college sports more profitable, or does it just generate revenue? Every football program in the country is seeing its labor costs skyrocket.

That is completely different. The U.S. government has programs to help people pay rent and have housing. If the government does not do that, some people will not have housing. Someone has to own those housing units, so PE firms stepped up because they knew there was demand for the rental...

I think this House settlement is turning really bad for football. If only 30-35 schools are going to be able to play big time football, the remaining schools will cut back on scholarships. This will impact the number of kids that pursue scholarships in football. The cost of running a big time...

...CVC for decades to come. Investors are already rich and can already get access to the players they want access too. See above. Investors want returns. PE can't fix a business that barely made money before House, and whose market may be shrinking dramatically if dozens of schools are forced...

The decline of the linear cable model means every league is looking at a completely new revenue model within 5 years. Together with the House decision making football much more expensive, I don't know how anyone makes any decisions on football in this environment.

People continue to confuse revenue and profit. X and Y have very low overhead and manageable costs (even post-House), and are general profitable when done at a high level. Z has a huge overhead cost that just got a lot worse with the House Settlement. Many major conference programs were...

...guaranteed. The school can't afford 8/50 guaranteed. College sports are getting less financially lucrative for schools, not more, with the House settlement, and UConn simply can't afford to pay a coach that much. It would decimate the budget. Thank Hurley for a great run, wish him the...

College football has gotten a lot less profitable in the last month with the House settlement. Programs are going through their own overhead with an axe right now. Football has 85 scholarships, roughly 60 that need significant NIL payments, and a huge staff to manage. There are only 7 home...

I am a little disappointed by the back pay expense split, but House is still going to leave a big mark. Going forward, football just became a lot less profitable. Now UConn would like some more chaos.

If the House case went to trial, and the P4 got roundhoused the way they almost certainly would, at least half the P4 AD's would be fired for not working out a settlement this week when they had the chance. The 22 have a ton of leverage. A judgment would not kill them, and the current deal is...

...anti-trust violation, which makes it unlikely they will even hear another anti-trust case, they will just refer to the Alston precedent. The House plaintiffs have a gun against the P4's head demanding a settlement now, or they are going to court in a case that the P4 is GUARANTEED TO LOSE...

The smart move by the non-football conferences would be to simply stop the settlement. File an injunction preventing the NCAA from approving any settlement. The Big East isn't a named defendant in the House lawsuit. Let the P4 sweat.

Worked pretty well in the Alston and House cases.

...leagues have a lot of leverage, because the settlement amount is going to be a lot more than $2.8 billion if it goes to court, and the P5 will end up pay almost all of it. The House plaintiffs want a settlement soon or they are going to court, which puts the P5 leagues in a really precarious...

There is an irony to the P4 schools attempting to pay for their antitrust violations by engaging in more antitrust violations.

This guy said it a lot more clearly than my selling a house example a couple of pages back. The rights are sold with a Grant of Rights. It is really hard to un-sell them. Where the Clemson and FSU cases have a sliver of light is around the fact that A) they don't have the actual contract...

Isn’t a GOR more like a sale contract? If you sell your house, it is hard to go back and claim you didn’t sell it 8 years later because you think someone else will pay more. The only way I see out of the GOR is ESPN terminating the tv contract. If you sell something contingent on a series of...

...the current contract because ESPN needs content and probably doesn’t want the ACC to break up. 2) There is definitely a component of performance art for FSU’s more moronic fans to FSU’s lawsuit. Ironically, between the CFP and House case, there seems to be less actual logic to FSU leaving.

The P4 lost Alston 9-0 at the Supreme Court, and are about to lose another huge antitrust lawsuit in House, and they are consolidating further? Really?

There is some action by Congress now to provide a legal safe harbor so college can regulate athletics.
